Decent haircuts for receding hair - with examples

[ringo]

Looking for a decent haircut, mine looks shit and has done ever since I cut my dreads off. I'm not a shaved head type of bloke. Slightly receded years ago and in my family it tends to then stay like that til you die.

This is OK I spose:

I'm beginning to see that I hate gelled hair, this is dreadful:

Formal looks OK:

Basically keep it short and don't do anything faffy. I totally agree about avoiding gel.

 

[colacubes]

This is kind of ok.

Isn't this something of a no-brainer ?

Not if you hate skinheads and are not bald, no.

I have no idea tbh. I just googled receding hairline styles It's from a blog called recedinghairline.co.uk, which as far as I can tell is just some fella's blog.

Quick, get over to the General forum, there might be a thread you haven't posted on.

OK, Picard is a bit of an exaggeration, and I have to confess that I held onto my pony tail for longer than I should have because I worried I might end up looking like a thug, but I reckon it sometimes helps to look a bit "handy" ...

Why do some of the men on this thread look very confused?

Your first pic isn't too bad, it's kind of a modern comb-over the way they cover the receding bits by bringing the rest forward.

I think you should emphasise what you've got left with a massive quiff.

No Morrissey quiff. Ever.

I think it's the comb-over part of that pic that I don't like.

tbh the only one I could live with so far is the Daniel Craig pic. That would involve walking into a hairdressers with a picture of James Bond and saying "I want to look like that" though

Do it!!!!

I fear this thread may be of use to me very soon. It all looks a bit thin on top when I have my hair cut these days.

I may try to use photoshop to blank his face out

Daniel Craig is the best pic by far. For the hair also.

...although I have to say whatever the hairstyle, it's what's underneath it that does it for me. If my husband had been sporting a dodgy comb-over when I first met him, the wit and humour would still have inveigled me into his bed.

You're a tolerant woman Mrs Magpie but don't go encouraging combovers now, there are already too many of them in the world.

Gentlemen, some of you may lose some or even all of your hair. I'm sorry, this happens. You'll still be just as attractive so long as you accept it and don't try to hide it.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I'm not encouraging dodgy hair, but when all is said and done, it's what's underneath the hair (or gleaming bald pate) that counts. I'd rather have a sound chap under dodgy hair than a twat with great hair

This, this and thrice this.

Dignified, distinguished, and definitely not bald.
